BB - you will be surprised at how I looked a few years ago and how I look now! These days I have to wear my "keep everything in place" pants, not these days actually, have been wearing it for 2 years now. The photo's was taken without it, but if I wear it it really takes another couple of centimeters off. These pants thingy is my comfort, like a dummy for a kid I guess, I can't go without it. But one day I will go out without it, just need to get rid of the muffin top first...
